READING

Learn how to use the library (card file or computer), and
with the assistance of your counselor or your librarian, select
six books of four diverse types (such as poetry, drama/plays,
fiction, nonfiction, and biographies). After you have read this
material, discuss your reading with the counselor or librarian.
Using a log as a reference, explain why you chose the material,
whether you enjoyed it and what it meant to you.

Read two books or material from any two sources (Magazines,
newspapers, field manuals, etc.) about the world around you
(sports, environmental problems, politics, religion, etc.) and
discuss your reading with your counselor.

From a catalog of your choice, fill out the application
as if you intended to place an order, and discuss it with your
counselor.
